In the impenetrable stone house, Lin Yue was counting the large quantity of goods he got in exchange for water this ti.
Apart from so materials, the other items were also quite good.
Things like bacon, rock salt, chips, and Snickers bars added a bit of fun to this dull and tasteless survival ga.
As for various design blueprints, there's no need to say more.
However, what Lin Yue cared about the most was the egg of that mutant creature.
He never thought there would be such a thing that could be used as a trade item.
He initially thought that trading mutant creature at was already quite bizarre.
Lin Yue squatted beside the egg, which was as big as a basketball. Under the firelight, he noticed it was overall white with so monochro patterns, which were distributed without much regularity, but overall, it was quite beautiful.
But, what kind of mutant creature could hatch from this thing?
Generally speaking, egg-layers are birds, but turtles, snakes, and lizards are egg-layers too.
But is there anything among them that can lay such a big egg?
Could it be an ostrich or sothing?
Or perhaps... a dinosaur or sothing?
Despite his curiosity about the egg, Lin Yue still decided to give the mutant creature a quick end as soon as it hatched.
Exchanging 50 milliliters of water for a wooden treasure chest is just delightful.
He tapped the eggshell, making a "hollow" sound.
Goodness, as long as it's not a dead egg.
By the way, when will this thing hatch?
With these questions, Lin Yue glanced at the system panel.
There's an hour left until the specific disaster details are announced.
He glanced at the group chat, which was bustling.
Only 7304 people have survived...?
Lin Yue was shocked by the death rate, but he also knew that more people would quietly perish in this world.
This group had lost nearly three thousand people in three days; what about other groups? What about the entire world?
He shook his head and continued looking at the group chat content.
"Lin Yue is amazing! Anyone who badmouths him, I'll spam until you're done!"
"Honestly, I've even thought of the na for a child with our mighty Lin Yue."
"What kind of family, seriously, can you afford to sell five liters of water? Is this water profiteer Lin Yue a Terminator, wiping out everyone around the shelter?"
"Report, I finally got water on the third day, the first bottle, hooray!"
"Speaking of which, the disaster announcent is coming out, what kind of disaster will it be? I have nothing except this crappy house."
"As long as it's not a swarm of insects or beasts, I'm the first to welco a heavy rain."
"Heavy rain 1"
"Heavy rain 10086"
"Is heavy rain even a disaster? I feel like a flood is a real disaster."
"You jinx, say another word and I'll spam you!"
"But the system is quite considerate, telling us three days in advance so we can prepare. If it was just a day in advance..."
...
Lin Yue closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
The specific disaster details would be announced soon.
Once the specifics were revealed, every single second, everyone would go wild hoarding various supplies for this.
Water might still be in high demand for a while, but perhaps other resources could beco even more sought after.
Regarding water, Lin Yue felt that besides him and a few others, everyone else might still be struggling in this extre water shortage mire.
But if there really were a heavy rain flood...
Water might not be scarce for anyone.
Yet another problem would arise.
Would the shelter be wiped out by the flood directly?
Lin Yue made up his mind, if the disaster was really a heavy rain, he'd fix the drainage first thing the next morning.
If it's a flood... It shouldn't be such a big disaster initially, right?
According to Lin Yue's understanding of this survival ga, from the start until now, the ga has consistently been weeding out the weak, or simply put, those who couldn't adapt to this extre environnt.
Facing the mutant creatures in such scarcity of water and food, only those who overca nurous difficulties and survived "qualified" to challenge these disasters.
In other words, at present, this might be considered the "beginner's protection period".
If suddenly, out of nowhere ca sothing like a teor strike, a flood, a beast tide, or the earth cracking...
That wouldn't make sense.
If the system wanted to wipe out so many people indiscriminately, wouldn't one disaster right at the start suffice?
Why bother with a disaster every seven days with a three-day notice?
This clearly doesn't make sense.
So...
Lin Yue looked at the countdown.
There were less than thirty minutes left.
In the group, no one was talking about water anymore, everyone was speculating on what disaster would befall.
And so pessimistic individuals even reckoned that humanity might entirely perish after this disaster.
Will it really be like that?
Perhaps Earth was already dood, and humanity got a chance to start anew.
In the face of endless hardships, how many people will persist until the end?
No matter what others thought, he felt that even if there was only one person left in the world, he would strive to ensure that person was him.
With this system, at the very least, he wouldn't starve or die of thirst.
The developnt of his shelter would absolutely not fall behind others.
And through ongoing trials, he would continually improve, becoming ever stronger.
Killing that giant locust today was enough to prove he had beco a class above the first day.
Humans are creatures capable of growth, especially in such extre environnts.
Lin Yue opened the trading panel.
He decided to seize this opportunity to see what he could snag with the water he had.
As a hard currency, especially on this third day, reaching most people's physiological limits, water could exchange for more things.
Lin Yue had no reason to let this opportunity pass.
Moreover, now was the best ti to bargain.
Look, what would these people have obtained after scouring mutant creatures at their wit's end, things seemingly useless now but might be valuable later?
Lin Yue acted decisively.
If he saw sothing he thought was worth it, he imdiately made a deal.
Quickly, with one minute left on the countdown, he had exchanged 2.4 liters of water for saltpeter, a lighter, a fishhook blueprint, a flashlight blueprint, a hoe blueprint, and a stator, among other items.
Lin Yue was familiar with this stator.
During college, he had been in a chanical enthusiast club for a while, so he knew this was a crucial component of a generator.
A generator... he had never seen this thing in the group or on the trading market so far.
Was it that no one had managed to obtain one, or were they all keeping it under wraps?
Now, there were only ten seconds left until the disaster would be announced!
Many people in the group were counting down!
"Five!"
"Please, don't let it be too severe!"
"Four!"
"I just hope for heavy rain, heavy rain!"
"Three!"
"The world is about to end, hahahaha!"
"Two!"
"Why do I hear a rumble outside?"
"One!"
Everyone held their breath in anticipation!
Lin Yue quickly switched to the announcent interface!
However, the na of the first disaster he saw made his eyes widen in disbelief!
"What? Is it really... this disaster?!"
anwhile, the entire group beca engulfed in panic!
